The house has worked out well even though we have a couple of spare bedrooms without the Langford touring party. We missed them and hope that Al's recovery and treatment is going well.
As our last lunch out together we returned to the little town of Fontvieille and "La Patio" that Gail and I enjoyed so much 3 years ago. After the disappointment of not getting into our other restaurant in Orange, I sent a booking email to them last night. Arriving a little before the booking, we discovered that they don't take email bookings, but luckily they had a table for us........ averting much embarrassment !
The meal was of very high quality again from the amuse bouche through to the sensational desserts. The time in France has been highlighted by the wonderful food and wine, as expected........just the thing that brings the gang together. Gail and I have planned lots of walking in Spain over the next two weeks and perhaps a little less consuming.
Tonight is a last chance to enjoy our house and to mop up remaining food and wine. Tomorrow we head to Spain, while Grahams have a night in Lyon with the Thorns who return to Sydney via Hong Kong. Grahams still have Paris, London (Rugby World Cup) and Venice to go in the "Year of Tez" celebration.
